FOR SAILBOAT ENTHUSIASTS The 80' (24.38m) luxury sailing yacht SERENDIPITY was built to Lloyds A1+ and delivered in 1985 by Southern Ocean Shipyards. She was designed by Doug Peterson with styling by Jon Bannenberg and Andrew Winch. She is a performance cruiser with high-quality interior finishes and furnishings, perfect for long-distance cruising in comfort. This prized sailing yacht has the strength to sail anywhere and provides optimum comfort for those aboard. She comfortably cruises at 9 knots, reaches a maximum speed of 10 knots. She is built specifically to travel around the world, and once our kids are grown we definitely plan on doing so!
